A " Paste Ballot"

A specimen of the paste ballots alleged
to have been used in the Fourth Sena-
torial district by Mr. ID. F. Houston, in
his senatOriall contest with Mr. W. Nj.
Ellis, was filed with the contest papers In
the Senate, and was seen by representa-
tive OF the TINES yesterday. Attached
TO the regular Democratic ticket was a
slip of paper on one side of which was
printed the name, ID. +. Houston and
on the other was glue similar to that on
the back of postage stamp. One end
of this slip was pasted on the ticket
alongside Of Mr. Ellis name, and moth
ing would have been easier when an un-
wary voter was not looking than 10 have

thought he was voting. As Mr.. Ellis was
defeated by only IL votes in his district,
and as il therefore only required ~ of
such ballots to defeat him, IL looks as if
he had pretty good case.

Young Man.

hdstoF ~ me IWeSi
The Democratic caucus will soon nom
mate lawyer TO fill the important and
responsible position of Judge Of oul
Chancery Court. As Richmond Is the
commercial and business centre of the
State, this Is the most important inferior
court within the limits of the Common.
wealth. The Bar Association has passed
resolutions and attempted to have the
jurisdiction OF the court divided. The
forever and present Judge Of that court
both endorsed such resolutions on the
express ground that no one man could
properly discharge the duties of the
office. They thought he would be over
worked. The bar of the city is practical
ly uninsmous in advocating this course
There are many candidates for the posi-
ton, and their claims are being consider
ed by the four Delegates and two Senators
from this city in secret caucus. When
these gentlemen were chosen as members
Of the General Assembly, neither them
selves nor any one else ha-dly thought
of the power they would have in the Sc
lection of Judge of this court which
passed upon all titles to property within
the city limits and property rights which
affect the interests of people all over the
State Only few actively opposed the
decision of the jurisdiction of the court
so a. 10 lessen the labors of the judge
and expedite business.
All who should know best are agreed
that 1t Is very hard work for one man.
Business men and men OF property
should use their influence in preventing
the election by the Legislature OF any
incompetent or unfit person. \ young
man Of ability, energy, honesty, and ex
perence should have the place. No one
can say auGht against such man, anc
that there are numbers of them tc bt
found among the profession In this city
goes without saying. "The noiseless anc
inaudible foot Of time" makes many in
roads. and steps should at once be taker
by thinking business men, whose interests
are at stake, 10 put good sound man IN
this most important place.
Usually the rewards of office should
be given 10 those who have spent theil
best efforts in behalf of party success, bu
this f. not place which should be filled
by partisan, but by young man Of
energy, ability, industry and experience
The object OF this article is 10 call the
attention of thinking business men tC
the importance and magnitude OF the
office. and these are the views Of

Our New once.

Advertisers would do well 10 note the
recent improvements in The equipment
of the TIMES, which is now com
plete in all the features of perfect
equipment for first-class daily newspa-
per, with the modern idea applied prac.
tically to have the business offices. the
editorial offices, the composing
mailing department, press and engine
all on one floor, so as to secure prompt CO..
operation in the quick work that is ne
cessary to publish good paper.
The Otto gas engine that runs the press
is the most perfect and beautiful ma
chine of the kind that is known, and,
though as neat and pretty as a toy, is
powerful enough TO do three times the
required work.
Ii was the original purpose of the own
ers of our paper to give the public daily
paper that should be in all respects relia-
ble, intelligent, and truthful. in order TO
represent the advanced ideas of the time
as understood by the healthy public
opinion of Richmond as the leading city
of the South, and the business and politi-
cal capital of what should and will be
the most prosperous State OF the South.

son presided. Prayer was offered by

yenerated divine, in Characteristic, elo.
quent, and chsste language invoked the

arbitration
